It's been a hard day's night And I've been working like a dog /It's been a hard day's night I should be sleeping like a log /But when I get home to you I find the things that you do Will make me feel all right /

Horrible! Profane!! Clearly the NWO, FEMA camps, pedophile rings, all that shit has nothing to do with evil, it's those goddamn Beatles we need to worry about!

Do you really think a suggestive album cover with plastic dolls means The Beatles are a Satanist front?

The "Butcher cover"

In early 1966, photographer Robert Whitaker had the Beatles in the studio for a conceptual art piece entitled A Somnambulant Adventure. For the shoot, Whitaker took a series of pictures of the group dressed in butcher smocks and draped with pieces of meat and body parts from plastic baby dolls. The group played along as they were tired of the usual photo shoots—Lennon recalled the band having "boredom and resentment at having to do another photo session and another Beatles thing"[10]—and the concept was compatible with their own black humour.[7] Although not originally intended as an album cover, the Beatles submitted photographs from the session for their promotional materials. According to a 2002 interview published in Mojo magazine, former Capitol president Alan W. Livingston stated that it was Paul McCartney who pushed strongly for the photo's inclusion as the album cover, and that McCartney reportedly described it as "our comment on the war".

At the time, some of the Beatles defended the use of the Butcher photograph. John Lennon said that it was "as relevant as Vietnam" and McCartney said that their critics were "soft".[12] However, this opinion was not shared by all band members. George Harrison (who became a vegetarian) was quoted as saying that he thought the whole idea "was gross, and I also thought it was stupid. Sometimes we all did stupid things thinking it was cool and hip when it was naïve and dumb; and that was one of them."[7] Capitol Records apologised for the offence.
